[solved]Backup to webdav fails

NethServer Version: 7
Module: backup data

I am trying to use a webdav volume as a target for backup. I triplechecked the credentials but I am getting an error about no space left:
Extract from log file /var/log/backup-data.log:

What device would have no space in this? One of the volumes on the server or the target? Target is a webdav volume of 1TB with 99,9% free space. Any pointers on how to tackle this?

you’d change your backup script to use the -v flag, something like -v4 (or -v5 to set it more verbose)

I don’t know how to do it

what about the source?

I think I got it figured out. There was a CIFS share mounted on the server that was full. I unmounted it and now the backup is running just fine.
